Privy Seal (Kelpie) 10/13
In the field
a black horse
with 9 children
on its back
The tight skin shines in the sun
like seals basking on rocks
Its eye is the size of the moon
and the universe reflects in it
You touch its nose
your finger sticks
and it begins to gallop
towards water
In your pocket is the penknife
it will only take a minute to be free
The Kelpie is screaming in the shallows
and the blood in the water and the blood –
